Located 18 km southwest of Karditsa, 1,150 m asl, is the
historic Korona Monastery, a religious and cultural center
during the Ottoman period. One of the most important sights in
the prefecture is the man-made lake of the river Tavropos or
Megdova, known as Lake Nikolaos Plastiras, in honour of the
distinguished general and politician from Karditsa who in 1925
conceived the idea of building a dam. The dam was constructed in
1959, at an altitude of 1,000 m, and supplied the whole of
Thessaly with water and hydroelectric power. There are tourist
amenities in the lake’s idyllic surroundings. The medicinal
springs at Smokovo and Kaitsas; Philia with ruins of an Early
Christian basilica (5th c.) on the site of the sanctuary of
Athena Itonia; the Mycenaean tholos tomb (1500 BC) outside
Georgiko; ancient Gomphoi near Mouzaki; ancient Kierion near
Sofades; the twenty mountain villages of Agrithea with their
traditional architecture and stone bridges; the highland town of
Rendina which is a characteristic scheduled settlement; the
Petra Monastery near Lambero are just some of the many places of
interest in the prefecture.
